A grouping of systems, forming a chain of worlds, all reachable by a Jump-1 capable starship.
- Please see Rift for a related article.
- Please see Astrography and Charted Space for related information.
Description
This grouping provides a sort of “corridor” allowing jump-1 capable ships to travel to any world along the chain without ever exceeding jump-1.
- Usually a Main encompasses 50 or more systems.
- For ease of reference the main may be broken into arms, or branches.
- Smaller groups of systems, between 5 and 50, all reachable by jump-1 are referred to as a trace or cluster.
History & Background
Many such groupings of worlds exist in the Imperium.
Listing of Mains: 1116
Greater Mains (Yellow Lines)
Star systems on long (51 or more stars) mains. Most multi-sector and single-sector mains are greater mains. High economic and trade activity (interstellar traffic). Prominent examples include:
- Antares Main originating in the Antares Sector
- Aslan Main
- Dagudashaag Main
- Imperial Road
- Liasdi Main
- Lishun Main
- Rim Main
- Spinward Main in the Spinward Marches
- Sylean Main in Core Sector
- Vilani Main centered in the Vland Sector
- Vland Main
Lesser Mains (Blue Lines)
Star systems on short (11 - 50 stars) mains. Many subsector mains are lesser mains. Moderate economic and trade activity (interstellar traffic). Other examples include:
- Alike Main
- Alurzan Loop
- Boötean Main
- Celepina-Jae-Tellona Link
- Corridor Main
- Deneb Main
- Sabine Backwater (Trace)
- Derri Main
- Dikhari Main
- Drinsaar Loop (Main)
- Florian Main
- Fulacin-Porozlo Route
- Ganad Main

- Tharrynra Main
- Thicket Run
- Ushamla Main
- Vegan Main
Micro Mains (Green Lines)
Star systems on short (0 - 10 stars) mains. Many subsector mains are lesser mains. Low economic and trade activity (interstellar traffic).
Arms, Branches, Traces, Clusters & Others
Star systems with few if any significant connections to any main. May be subsets of larger mains. Most of these astrographic features are located in just one or two subsectors. Low economic and trade activity (interstellar traffic). Other routes attached to mains include:
Arms & Branches:
